User ID

This may seem petty, but when is a user of Chess.com dropped from the roles for non-activity?  There's a user ID I would like to have, but it's in use by someone that joined in May of 2008 and has not been active (last on-line) since the day he joined.  This also seems to inflated the member numbers greatly!  I figure if you haven't been active in over 2 years, you should be dropped!

 You'd understand why if this was your business.

Joseph-S,  I figured it was just good business pratice, but that doesn't make it suck any less.  It's like, "Hey, look how many people come to our web-site!  Just don't count the dead ones."  The member count is just a fairytale.  I want that user ID, damn it!  Yell

Edit:  Mea culpa.

@Joseph-S:  Well, we can see why your friend count is (0).  Please keep your comments (insults) relevant to Chess or the topic.

What is the user ID you want?

gerfinn

Good idea.  The user ID I wanted is "AJHenry" and that guy hasn't been active since 2008.
